I teach a variety of analytic film courses and I'm amazed that students find 
not only silent films but much later works boring.  Mayabe it's just the 
breed of students we have, but they sleep through screwball classics and find 
John Cassavetes stultifying.  I'm convinced it's having come of age after the 
emergence of MTV and MIAMI VICE, with the frequent cuts and pounding music.
